Thank all of you for plaudit, my ego like it...I am kidding, I really appreciated that my works are remarkable for you. Thanks.

Truth is that in Czech Republic we have surprising amount of tearooms and it help me to develop my tea ware. It is because in pottery you need not only inspirations, information, and artistic feelings but also a lot of practice. And I am conscious that there is a lot of things I can work on. So I have to say also thank you to all people who suport me on my journey.
Here is a teapot just after finishing...

Looks like you are using sodium silicate (waterglass) on the surface to get the cracking when you stretch.....and an enhansed "flashing" effect on the fired unglazed clay in addition to the woodfire. Is that the case?

John, you are right. I use wateglass for this decoration. I apply thin coat of waterglass on basic cone of clay, than I left it for several minutes and than working only from inside by one hand I make a shape of the pot.

Spittingouteeth: Which one of Dobra tea is your local? Is it Madison or Burlington? Thank you for support and enjoy your pot. Please, Let me know by a time how it works.
